My biggest issue with darktable was the masking. It's so different in darktable, but once I understood it, all the barriers fell away
I import, sort and tag my photos with Digikam, and then open them with darktable for editing.
Sorry, I meant a decent editing workflow. Things along the lines of editing - adding outlined text, moving and/or removing things, etc. For example, I've tried gimp a few times but I've found myself fighting against the way it wants you to do things.
Ah, no, I use darktable for all of my editing. But sorting my photos, rating, tagging and flagging them for future editing is all digikam.
Any reason why you are using digikam for importing and sorting and not just daktable?
I find the catalogue more convenient in digikam, but it might be because I've used it since the beginning.
